Growing Stronger -- and Better -- Together in Faith!

---

For our children at All Saints North Shore, Sunday School is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth and personal development.

Our children are helped to visualize and internalize the rich lessons we learn from the Bible -- important, life-long lessons about our faith, our values, and the value of community in their lives.  

Once a month, during our intergenerational service, and also during baptisms, children are invited to participate in the service, hearing a special homily just for them, as they sit around our priest or deacon, at the foot of the altar stairs, and later, standing behind the altar, with our priest, as God's table is made ready for communion.

All this is offered in a warm, loving and age-appropriate context and environment.  The Rev. Jim Chapman, our deacon, works with our dedicated parents and parishioners -- some of whom are elementary school teachers -- to develop a rich, engaging program  of Christian formation for the children, helping them to: 

•LEARN from Bible stories
•EXPERIENCE Spiritual Growth
•ESTABLISH a place to belong
•BUILD relationships and friendships to last a whole lifetime
•EMPHASIZE the benefits of intergenerational encounters 

The All Saints Sunday School experience includes:

•Service Projects for the older children
•Confirmation classes
•Christmas Pageant
•Bible story offerings by parishioners who share scripture as it relates to their own lives

Children are invited to attend Sunday School while their parents and families attend the beginning of the service in the sanctuary, with the lessons, the reading of the Gospel, the homily and prayers.

Then, at the passing of the Peace, children are welcomed back into the sanctuary to join their families for the remainder of the service, including Holy Communion.

For the convenience and comfort of families with infants and toddlers, we also offer a staffed nursery.
